Invalid Session Error

[#1]

Hello,

Using PHP, I'm creating a token with the following code:

$acc = new RTCAccount("https://collaboration.adobelivecycle.com/user");

$acc->login("username", "passwd");

$sess = $acc->getSession("myfirstroom");

$token = $sess->getAuthenticationToken("secret", "John", "john", 100);

Then I pass $token to my application and use it to authenticate. This was all working but all of a sudden it stopped working, instead started to give the following error:

09:10:30 GMT+0300    requestInfo null?guk=ZzpudWxsOg==&mode=xml&x=0.2071044179610908

#THROWING ERROR# requestInfo catch statement

Any ideas?

Adding autoLogin="false" to my cSession element solved the issue.

Thanks nzezelj, your response was a heads up for me.

Hi,

Yes, autoLogin=false is a must for token authentication.  Glad to be of help.

Invalid instance is yet another "not so helpful" error message.  I will look into it and see if we can fix it for next release.

Thanks,

Nikola

Just curious why you have a null in the first debug line:

09:10:30 GMT+0300    requestInfo null?guk=ZzpudWxsOg==&mode=xml&x=0.2071044179610908

Thanks,

Props to Dr AlexGor, who reported the real problem here - the ConnectSession was trying to login before you could pass the right Room URL..

Hi Nigel,

I really don't want to insult anybody. Actually the word "support" was wrong. I should have said "documentation". I'm not sad because I couldn't get a reply from an employee on a forum. I'm sad I couldn't found any other way to work toward an answer. I don't know how to be more helpful to describe my problem actually.

Please don't be offended, I know you're putting a lot of effort trying to solve the problems posted here.

Hi there,

Umm... Haven’t we been helping you all along? It’s really sad to see that you’d rather insult the people trying to help than work toward an answer.

Thanks but I'm already using LCCS v 2.1, and I'm sure that my room name is correct. As I said, that code was working before.

It's really sad to see that a very good technological idea such as LCCS has not a very good support.

Any other ideas?

Just a few thoughts:

Not sure about the specifics of your problem, but "invalid instance" ( up to LCCS swc v.2.0.0 ) meant " your room name is mispelled, your room doesn't exist..etc. Try upgrading to LCCS v2.1.0 and see if you get the new room "not-found" error message, maybe that'll help diagnose your problem ?
